Learn to Sing

By Natasha A. Unzueta


Always loosen your vocals by performing vocal exercises such as humming and singing scales.Think about the meaning of a song before you sing it or else it will be unemotional and easily forgotten.When you inhale, push your abdominal muscles out and breathe from your diaphragm. Your chest and shoulders should not move.Practice your breathing before you go to bed every night. It will feel awkward and exhausting at first but once you get the hang of it, you will find that you have a lot more control over your voice.Learn the difference between your chest voice and your head voice.Work to expand your vocal range gradually.Drink plenty of water before you sing as well as during and after. Warm water is recommended after to soothe your voice.

Understand that singing is not just about your singing voice. Good singers have techniques, in fact, some of the popular ones have distinct singing techniques that distinguish them and make them shine above other singers. Understand that to learn to sing well, you have to make use not just your voice, but your body - your diaphragm, your torso, your abdomen, your neck and many other parts of the body. You have to use them to produce the best singing voice you can and the best singing performance as well.

Mind your posture. These two play a big role in making a good singing sound as well. A bad posture during singing is not only unpleasant to look at but can also affect the quality of your voice. Of course, a correct posture allows the a good flow of your voice from your vocal chords and out of your system. Relax your facial muscles. Tension is often a hindrance to a good, well modulate voice, so try to relax the muscles of your face as well as your neck and jaw before trying to sing. This will help you feel more relaxed and will make you look more confident as well.

Do not smoke! It damages your voice and your lungs.Avoid drinking any beverages with caffeine in the them prior to singing. They affect your vocal chords.Don't sing without warming your voice up fully. You won't reach you full potential and you can damage your voice.The last tip to follow when you want to know how to learn to sing is never try to sound like someone else.

Singers and Voice Training.Have you ever wondered how a professional vocalist can sing high or low., loudly or softly, and never appear to be straining? Nine times out often, they weren't born knowing how to do this. They trained their voice until they were able to reach their maximum vocal potential. Whether it was through a personal voice trainer, a singing manual or an online singing course, somehow they graduated from simply singing around the house to training their voice for optimal performance.

First of all, while I am writing these tips for the parents of aspiring young singers, I hope that you aspiring young singers will read it, too. Especially if you would like to help your parents understand why singing is so important to you, and what they can do to help you to realize your dreams.

Cost saving.The cost of hiring a singing coach for lessons every week can get very expensive over time but learn to sing programs can cost between 25 and 100 dollars only in a one off purchase making them cheaper in the long run.Multimedia.A combination of visual, audio and text driven tutorials allow learners of all sorts to get more out of each lesson and can give insights into concepts that simple vocal explanations cannot. Every vocal technique can be rep[resented in a variety of different ways!

Here are some questions to get you started: When did you begin to dream about becoming a singer? Which singers inspire you? What kind of music do you like best? Can you show me the music that you think you'd like to sing? Get on YouTube with them and watch and listen. Avoid showing horror about the singers they love. Just take the time to quietly learn about your child's aspirations. You might be pleasantly surprised.Ask Them to Sing for You.This one is tricky. Some young people find it very hard to sing for their family. It is their worst singing nightmare to have to perform for such potentially disapproving humans.

So, be kind. If your child cannot or will not sing for you, then ask if you can hear an MP3 of them singing for themselves or for a friend. Don't demand a performance too soon. And resist saying, "Well, if you can't sing for me, how on earth are you going to sing for a bunch of strangers?" Often, it is easier to sing for strangers than for Mom or Dad. Some children, of course, are eager to show their parents what they can do. In this case, listen and be encouraging.Ask How You Can Help.Does your child need lessons? Does s/he want you to buy a guitar? A piano? A karaoke machine? Whatever it is - start small. Commit to going to one trial singing lesson, for example. The point is just to get started on the process.If you (as well as your teen) have no idea about how to learn to sing - then this can be a fun experience for both of you. But don't make it stressful. Go into it step by step.

Among the negatives to hiring a local singing coach are that often times you will hire someone that isn't particularly good! There are a lot of local vocal coaches who use outdated methods which will not help you to improve in the way that you need to. Another huge disadvantage is that hiring a local coach is far more expensive than Singorama. You will have to pay for each lesson individually and that can really add up over a few months. Another negative is that you may feel uncomfortable singing in front of a stranger at first.Option Two: Singorama.All of the negatives of option one are actually positives with Singorama. It's far less expensive because you can download the entire package just one time and use it endlessly. It's all you need to become a great singer. You will not have to pay per lesson. You will also be assured that the methods you will be learning are of the highest quality (unlike with many local vocal coaches.) And of course you will not have to worry about singing in front of a stranger.
